    The crusade to put 'women in film' was so stupid. 'The force is female', what a joke. One of my FAVORITE films was Battle For Endor, a largely female centric film that cast a 6 yearold girl as the star and a 50 year old woman as the villian. Easily better than both Disney and Prequels.  Cindel was a better character and actor in her two spin offs than all of the Disney / Prequel combined. The magic of the 80's... it was in everything, you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. In the 80's Luminious beings were we. 

     

    I'm not sure what any of that had to do with selling this guy's poster, but all of that was unnecessary.

    If you're willing to pay 1000+ I'd avoid these reproduction cocktails. The 60 in 1 jamma boards they come with have really poor emulation, the joysticks are usually bottom tier, and the lcd screens are usually lower quality.

     

    For 1000+, you should be able to find an original cocktail cabinet with the game of your choosing. Or you could buy a cocktail cab kit and use proper leaf switch joysticks with a Raspberry Pi for emulation. Going that way you'd end up well under 1k with way better results.

    The PacMan PCB outputs analog RGB in a 3:3:2 resolution, using resistors from the 7603.  So it's already VGA compatible.  It also has a composite sync output.  Something like an OSSC ought to be able to show that.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the composite sync coming from the board 15khz? So to be VGA compatible he'd need a something to change the sync rate to 31khz?

     

    The OSSC accepts both 15khz RGB and 31khz VGA, so that could definitely work.

    You could use an aftermarket monitor that supports CGA, such as this, but in most cases these monitors will be as expensive as a supergun. In my mind, save your money for the super gun. More flexibility with monitors, more flexibility with controls.

     

    Or you could use a CGA to VGA adapter, and use a VGA monitor. But youll have to figure out a wiring harness yourself.

    Hey all,

     

    I've been having some trouble with my TI-99/4a's keyboard. Keys Y through P seem to register as keys 6 through 0, respectively. Enter seems to function as the space bar. I've done some reading, and apparently keys Y-P and Enter are all on the first pin of the keyboard connector, while 6-0 are on pin 2. I've tried cleaning the keyboard cable contacts and the keyboard cable itself has been re-seated, but to no avail. Sometimes the keyboard works as it should for a few seconds, but it immediately goes back.

     

    These two keyboard rows feed directly into the inputs of the TMS9901 chip. Should I replace this chip with one from another TI-99/4a, or is it the keyboard itself that needs replacement? Any TI gurus out there that can help?

    Nice!

     

    I remember trying to get anime back in mid to late 90s, before DVD came out. Most VHS has one or 2 episodes, were $20 a pop, and a complete box set (for example Rootech) meant you had to give up lots of space. Or downgrade to a smaller TV. :D Today one could get most of the anime on DVD sets that took up the same space as 2 or 3 tapes so I could upgrade back to big TV.

     

    Anyway back on track: found nothing new in the last few days. :mad: Well, nothing that was made before 2005.

     

    If you think it was bad then, the japanese pay $80+ for BDs with 3 or 4 episodes on them NOW.
